NCache Third-Party Integrations for .NET Ecosystem
NCache serves as a high-performance distributed caching foundation for the .NET ecosystem, providing seamless integration with industry-standard frameworks to eliminate database bottlenecks and enhance application scalability. This guide explores how NCache acts as a second-level (L2) cache for Entity Framework (EF) Core and NHibernate, and how it optimizes distributed state management for enterprise applications. By providing native support for both client-side APIs and server-side features like Read-Through/Write-Through providers, NCache ensures that .NET developers can build resilient, ultra-fast applications while utilizing familiar tools and debugging workflows in Visual Studio.
